Oo! Sarangi. *Loves* Indian type stuff - but I think (?) DJs consider playing it too cliche post-hippie for a World music choice ??

The problem with listening to New Orleans Bounce music is that if you don't have someone screaming "ass ass everywhere" over a backing track that sounds like an air raid siren, every thing sounds a little off.

Help me, I think I need bounce rehab.

- as I see it :
- this totally Divisive Govt. as we now know it
- which is more about scoring points Politically then doing their Jobs & actually serving the Nation & the People
- starts w/ Gingrich & the Republican Revolution - as scripted by Karl Rove.
- Remember: The Clinton Years were *their* years too - & Clinton dragged the Left to Center to succeed as much as he did
- & all that is already 20 years ago !

...Re the Ceres project - would could be better! We all have the same atmosphere, the same water, & basically the same food sources. We all live in it - the same doggy dish - & the less we poop in it the better ! Lovely photos @ that Link - so European - altho' that's keywords to set off Right-wing rednecks...

RRN63:Do the centrists agree that it is ok for their government to take liberties with tax/monetary funds piling billions of good after bad.. "bombing little brown nations..", but no healthcare for the most vulnerable in society.. And if so, what are these people doing about it? or maybe an enforced euthenasia program would work better, though a little to the right?

has anyone read "the hare with the amber eyes" by edmund de waal? i am just finishing it, a great tale. he's an artist who tells the story of his family, almost inadvertently, by telling the tale of a huge collection of netsuke he inherited from a viennese uncle.

Cecile, defence? or attack? Both I would say.

...the whole point of the U.S. in the beginning was breaking w/ the conflicts of the European Monarchs & being Isolationist. After Manifest Destiny & the Industrial Revolution, we came became the greatest power, though - & in the World Wars the USA became the Arsenal of Democracy.

What's this Aretha song called? ;-) Haven't read it yet Trouble but it's on the list of things I plan to read. I heard him speaking on Desert Island Discs, and have seen him on Tv and want to read it. I'm currently reading Butterflies in November by Audur Ava Olafsdottir and it's lovely, very wry. Her first book, The Greehouse, is lovely too.

It's funny, with this "shut down".. They say a week is a long time in politics, but it was only last week the US gov was considering air attacks on Syria.. Shouldn't they prioritise domestic issues first? It's never hard to see it coming..

Those 2 books sound good Trouble and Adrian. I'm finishing up "No Man's Land" by Duong Thu Huong. It's a metaphorical tale about the dysfunction of the Vietnamese government through a relationship story. The author's books are banned in Vietnam and she's not allowed to travel abroad.

Yup. And when my dad was in a shop voting on a union with my gramps in the 50s, they had to deal with thugs with bats and chains.

He's conservative/libertarian, but never ever on the subject of unions. He tried to unionize the profs at the school he taught at, but they blew him off. He had the last laugh.

@Wood Green, glad he is still playing out. He is fabulously talented. He really knows how to write a fabulous song. I took Mary Margaret O'hara to see him play about 5 hears ago here in Toronto and there were fewer than 20 people in the audience. He was unaware of her music. I would dream of a collaboration of the 2 of them.
